The Presumpscot Regional Land Trust (PRLT) is beginning the process of gathering important input from community members in order to develop a new Five-Year Strategic Plan. Land Trust and also members of the community will be able to offer feedback and ideas to inform future goals of the organization by weighing in here: https://forms.gle/7RkHU8YJKyw6v4xS7

Will Sedlack, Director of the Land Trust said, “Our goal with this strategic planning process is to make sure we’re focusing on what matters most to the community— including protecting important lands and waterways while also giving people great places to enjoy nature. It’s really about finding the right balance between conservation and recreation and making sure we’re working smarter by teaming up with other organizations whenever and wherever it makes sense.”

He added, “We want to strengthen our partnerships with local municipalities and ensure our work supports the needs of the communities we serve. By working together, we hope to protect more land, create accessible outdoor spaces, and get more people involved in conservation efforts.

The Presumpscot Regional Land Trust is also happy to announce the launch of its new online store featuring merchandise such as a PRLT branded baseball cap, a hunter’s orange knit hat sporting the newly designed PRLT logo, stickers and patches are also available. You can now wear some cool gear to show your support for the Land Trust’s vital mission to protect and celebrate the Presumpscot River, its land, and its wildlife. The official launch will be in November at www.prlt.org.

The Land Trust would also like to thank its many individual volunteers, corporate and community organizations who freely give their time to help take care of trails, count alewives, and monitor the water quality of the many small streams and tributaries of the Presumpscot Watershed. Volunteers also perform many other important tasks large and small that provide and care for the forever wild spaces of the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust in the towns of Gorham, Gray, Sebago, Standish, Westbrook, Windham.
